Young Frank and his pals get an idea for the ultimate in excitement. They decide to pool their savings, bicycle to the nearby Big City, and hire some woman of the streets to strip for them.

But as V becomes indispensable in the lives of Frank and his widower father, Tom, inevitably, the past will abruptly catch up with her, putting in jeopardy young Frank's secret plan. Can now V get a second chance at love in the small community?—Nick Riganas
